Using mid and low freq knobs instead of a tone knob?

So I've been playing bass for almost 2 years now but the knobs on my bass have been broken since I got it. So I have next to no understanding of eq controls.

And with the current situation i can't really go and test some basses but being stuck inside i also really makes me want a proper working bass since I've been looking to get one anyway.

Now I've been looking at the ESP LTD B-1005 which has bass, mid and high knobs but no tone knob. **So i was wondering** if i could replace the function of a tone knob by finessing the mid and high knobs around a bit along with pickup selection?

Any help is appreciated.
